Ask HN: What do you do with your list of articles links?

Save every webpage I view - using browser extensions for several years..

Then when I want to recall something, just search for it. I worked out the storage space required once, my recollection is its one or 2 terabyte's a year

As a backup, I use history trends unlimited for about the last 3 years. I used to use pinboard archiving, but when my saved webpages got to a large number. I stopped using it, as I thought it was abusing the unlimited service offered. I loaded about 5 years of saved browser links into pinboard.

In the future I'd like to maintain a link log or something similar on my personal website like some people do:

- https://matklad.github.io/links.html

- https://dotat.at/:/

- https://til.simonwillison.net/

The weird thing about saved links in my case is that I get the most satisfaction out of them when I share them with friends and so on, a bit of "Hey! I think this might be helpful, here you go" and that ends up being the extent of that particular link's usefulness for myself most of the time. Of course I can't accurately gauge how helpful it actually is for the other person.

I noticed a lot of links dissapear over the years and this keeps the info more memorable anyway. As it forces you to at least lightly process the data mentally.
